Check out this inspiring short story. Exercise, goals and motivation is an amazing combination when facing Parkinson’s. I look forward to hearing some of your challenges and ambitions after watching this. This is the time to challenge yourselves and head for that goal.
Sign up for the next block of classes starting at the beginning of June. And the great news is that the Amersham and High Wycombe Branch of ParkinsonsUK are kindly giving a subsidy of 3 half price blocks of classes a year. Read more
We are pleased to announce New classes for those with more advanced Parkinson’s or less fit individuals. They are based on the PDPower classes but at a slower pace. Carers are encouraged and welcome to attend to support individuals. All assessments and prices are the same as PDPower. Carers attend for free. Come along, have some fun and see us in action.
I am very excited to announce the launch of my first 10 week PD Warrior Licensed Program in February 2018. The class will be at Bisham Abbey Sports Centre SL7 1RR, near Maidenhead and Marlow. Sign up in January to secure a place and have your assessment . See more details on the PD Warrior Page.

I have finally completed my October goal of running my first ever 10k. A total of 40k run in October. It was harder (and slower!) than I thought but I have my first running blister for proof! Thanks to my friends and family for running with me. Thank you for all your support and donations to Parkinson’s UK. I have enjoyed the challenge and will be look forward to my next ones in the New Year – swimming and cycling! 
I am doing a virtual run for Parkinson’s UK throughout October. I am planning on running 10k each week in October with a 10k in one go at the end of the month – so 50k in total this month. I have made a start this week with 3 k on Monday. I thought it was about time I challenged myself as I am always encouraging you guys to do more – so here I go! This will be the first stage of my challenges in 2017/2018 with a cycle ride and a swim (maybe open water – I am having swimming lessons which are hard!). So if you fancy sponsoring me then go to the link below:

Thank you.
Finally it has been recognised that specialist physiotherapy will benefit early -stage Parkinson’s. And it is exciting as NICE has highlighted research into physiotherapy and Parkinson’s.

What a busy summer! Thanks to all of those who attended the BOOT CAMPS in Hughenden Manor Grounds, along with the cows! The Walk and Pub Lunch saw about 20 of us braving the rain and the sun – but I was the only rainbow around!
Now heading into Autumn we are back to the weekly classes starting this week in Amersham, Beaconsfield and Prestwood. More new challenges lie ahead!
